[2025 Queenstown Attraction] Travel Guide for NZONE Skydive Queenstown (Updated Apr)

Everyone says it’s the last pure land on earth🌲 I had already felt this when I watched a movie many years ago. When I personally set foot on this land, standing between the blue sky and green grass, I truly understood what it means to live for those few moments of facing pure nature✨... - 💌 🏞️The air is fresh and clear, and just one breath makes you feel alive again. Who understands the “lung-cleansing” level of air! The sky above is unbelievably blue, and every casual shot is a masterpiece. This purity is even better than any filter~ - 📍Skydiving, the heart-pounding moment Challenging skydiving in Queenstown was the most thrilling decision of my life. Jumping from 4,000 meters high, with glaciers and lakes spread out beneath my feet, At the moment when adrenaline surged, I finally understood what “ultimate freedom” means. - 🐧Dazing with cute creatures, like having a wonderful dream The kiwi, this national treasure that can’t fly, always waddles around slowly. Watching penguins return to their nests up close in Oamaru made me appreciate the charm of these little pointy-beaked fellows for the first time. Petting sheep on the farm, watching whales and dolphins at sea, even dazing feels healing when looking at these little guys~ - 🍖The power of food is always immense NZ is not just about scenic landscapes; it’s also a paradise for a foodie like me. The beef and lamb here are as good as any top-class restaurant in the world and never get boring. The seafood is so fresh it feels like it jumped straight from the sea onto the plate. Having a piece of the world’s purest salmon, every bite is a burst of happiness.

The process starts with check-in at the branch, where you’ll first watch an instructional video. After that, a shuttle bus takes you to the airport, which takes less than 30 minutes. Once at the airport, you’ll be assigned to a plane and a coach. This happens in multiple rounds, so don’t worry if your name isn’t called right away—just wait patiently. As for shoes, there’s no need to worry—if you don’t want to wear your own, they provide shoes but only 2 sizes available. However, based on my personal experience, your shoes will be completely safe during the dive. You can also request gloves if needed. After gearing up, you’ll board the plane, enjoy the scenic views, and then jump off one by one. If you’re going for the 15,000 ft dive, they will provide oxygen before the jump. The only downside for me was that my goggles were too tight, which made me look a bit awkward in the photos. So, make sure you adjust them properly to feel comfortable and look great before you jump! The whole experience will take 1.5hrs to 2.5hrs. Overall it was a great experience.

There are so many things to do in Queenstown! Bungee jumping, steamships, and jet boats are all available. There is also an activity for the brave: skydiving. 📍Address: 786 Kingston Road, Drift Bay 9371 🚗Transportation: Walk to the downtown store, then go to the drop zone. 🕙Opening hours: 6:00 am–6:00 pm 💰Skydiving price: Basic package (skydiving only) NZD 335–515 Video + photo package (additional) NZD 199–359 🌟Highlights: Skydiving is a popular activity in Queenstown. It is also the birthplace of tandem skydiving. Not only ordinary tourists, but many celebrities have also come here to skydive. There are two drop zones in Queenstown, one is the NZone drop zone, and the other is the Wanaka drop zone, which is about 1 hour away from Queenstown. Both have a history of more than 30 years. I chose NZone, which has a store in the city, so it is more convenient to arrange. It is also known as one of the most beautiful drop zones in the world, which makes me more curious about it. 📌Tips: ✅Skydiving needs to be booked 4–5 days in advance, and you can book directly through 🛜. 9,000 feet–15,000 feet are available, and I personally recommend the highest one, which will feel better. ✅It takes about 3–4 hours from reporting to the skydiving company in the morning to the end of skydiving. The actual flight time is about 15 minutes, and it takes about 3–5 minutes from jumping out of the plane to landing. ✅Since you are here, you must buy a photo + video package to record the wonderful moments. I highly recommend the 2+1 package. The so-called 2+1 is followed by a photographer, and the effect will be much better than a single shot. ✅There are flights from morning to afternoon, and it is not recommended to choose a flight before 7:30 am. When we took off, the sky was still gray. The view is better when taking off at 10:30–11:00 am. ✅Please skydive when you are in good health. Even minor problems such as colds and coughs will cause discomfort after skydiving. Also, remember not to open your mouth when skydiving.

When it comes to exciting activities, Queenstown is definitely one of the best places in the world. Queenstown is located in a natural environment with complex and thrilling terrain, including rapids, fjords, and mountains. Many thrilling activities have been developed here without damaging nature. You can find all kinds of activities here, from mountain climbing to water sports to flying. So before coming to New Zealand, I saw in some friends' introductions that you shouldn't dress too formally for a trip to New Zealand, or you'll be out of place. In Queenstown on the South Island, you can enjoy exciting activities all year round, such as jet boating, white-water rafting, and skydiving. Cool extreme sports are also one of the highlights of traveling in New Zealand. In fact, the regular expenses of self-driving in New Zealand are not much, but extreme sports are the most expensive. A bungee jump costs more than RMB 1,000, a skydive costs more than RMB 2,000, and a glacier hike costs more than RMB 2,000. After playing the whole set, you'll be eating dirt for more than half a year. In Queenstown, I participated in the most exciting and unforgettable extreme sports challenge of this trip: skydiving. I was hesitant before signing up, but when I really got on the plane, strapped to the instructor, opened the cabin door, and flipped out, I felt it was really worth it. 🉑 Recommended locations: Nelson/Queenstown/Lake Wakatipu 🉑 Height options: 9,000 ft/12,000 ft/15,000 ft 🙋 Notes: Prepare yourself mentally before jumping. The process is very fast, and you'll be down in the blink of an eye. Free fall time: 16,500 ft is about 30–40 seconds. The moment the instructor opens the parachute is the most exciting, and it feels like bungee jumping. 📝 Tips: It's recommended not to eat in the morning, you know what I mean :-) If you're nearsighted, you can wear your glasses inside the goggles

Skydiving in Queenstown is the most well-known of all extreme sports in New Zealand except bungee jumping. Most people are eager to try before going to New Zealand, but it is not a minority to escape from the crucial time. The reason is none of them, it is too exciting! The skydiving day should go to the skydiving company to report in the office of Queenstown. The staff will tell if the weather is suitable. If there is no problem, there is a special car to pick up the base for skydiving. The journey takes about 20 minutes. After arriving at the base, group by number, no more than 6 people, because the plane can only sit at most 18 people, don't ask me why there are only 6 guests, because the remaining 12 are coaches! Everyone will see their coach and hurry up, because then your life will be controlled by him. On the plane, the cabin is small, 18 people are divided into two rows, one next to the other, flying to 10,000 feet, the coach will let you breathe oxygen, afraid to take two more, although not at all. At 15,000 feet, the cabin door is open, and everyone jumps one by one, and you can't hesitate. Because you don't jump behind the people, the coach will push you down. The rest of the time is to open your mouth. I shouted my throat, but considering that there are two cameras facing me, the poor manners will affect the image. I try my best to make myself look elegant. Unfortunately, the goggles dont live up to expectations, so I keep adjusting, otherwise my eyes wont open. . Overall, the process was very smooth, the coach was very responsible, the scenery was beautiful, except for the fear. But how can people see a broader world without taking a brave step? I do not regret.

NZONESkydive is the best company to operate skydiving in Queenstown. The office is in the town center and regrets that it is a 20-minute drive to the skydiving area address: NZONESkydiveQueenstown
